Patient Care

Supporting our community

In Dalhousie Medical School’s Department of Pathology, we’re committed to improving the quality of patient care in the Maritimes. We work towards that goal by incorporating a wide variety of hands-on residencies, research-based graduate studies and community services into our program offerings.

Taking care

With residency training programs in Diagnostic and Clinical Pathology, Diagnostic and Molecular Pathology, Hematological Pathology, and Medical Microbiology, we have residents working in hospitals and clinics in all three Maritime Provinces. This not only provides our residents with the practical experience they need to become better physicians, it also offers extra support to patients.
